Round 2

Scareousel

A carnival-themed carousel made up of two stages: a red track and a yellow track. The twelve contestants begin together on the starting platform elevated 10 feet above the water. Then at the sound of the horn, they'll hop across the pedestals on the red track, grab a red dangler, and swing over three hurdles to the red platform. If they wipeout, they must head back to the beginning. Once they land on the red platform, they must go up the steps and catch a ride on a yellow dangler to the finish platform all while avoiding the sweeper arms. If they wipeout here, they can stay on the yellow track and try again. In episodes 3 and 6 of Summer Wipeout, there were yellow double danglers. The first six contestants to make it through move on to the next round. In episode 16 of Summer Wipeout, it was renamed the Love Machine, because it was a Blind Date episode.

Total Carnage

The twelve contestants begin together on the starting platform elevated 10 feet above the water. The goal is simple: make it around to the finish platform.
